(b) $1: 2$

(c) $4: 1$

(d) $1: 4$

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (a) Radius of the path $=r=\frac{m v}{q B}=\frac{P}{q B}$

For $H^{+}$ion, $r_H=\frac{p_H}{e B}$

For $\alpha$ particle

$r _{\alpha}=\frac{p _{\alpha}}{2 e B}$

$\frac{r_H}{r _{\alpha}}=\frac{\frac{p}{e B}}{\frac{p}{2 e B}}$

[as given $p_H=p _{\alpha}=p$ ]

$\Rightarrow \frac{r_H}{r _{\alpha}}=\frac{2}{1}$
